Tornado damage in our neighborhood - Eagle, Wisconsin
This is the house with the dresser and mirror - they got it on both sides.
This immense White House, resting on its roof in the Wisconsin Dells, suggests by its name that within it lies the answer to why our world currently stands on its head. It's a secret, of course -- but it's also a very confusing secret, so we don't feel too bad about revealing what we saw when we were there....
(There are other upside-down White Houses -- in Orlando, Florida and Sevierville, Tennessee -- but they're half the size of Top Secret Inc. and their insides are just expensive arcades that are right side up.)

These containers hauled potatoes from Central Wisconsin to Frito-Lay potato chip processing facilities.
On the first leg of our adventure we stopped for a exploratory visit to Eagle Cave. The first commercial cave in Wisconsin. This was a great opportunity to tryout the Nikon P330 in some demanding conditions. It worked well for the mini golf and the action shots of the grandson, this was expected. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it preformed inside the cave. These were much better than the pictures I took in a cave with the D80 a couple of years earlier. Most were shot in the landscape mode with the 3 shot noise reduction on. Check the cave shots out and enjoy the spelunking scenery.

Redwood Cottage in Lake Geneva (1885). It was built as a summer residence for Mrs. Robert Hall Baker using shingles from Californian Redwood trees. She was the daughter-in-law of Charles Minton Baker, who was district attorney for Walworth County and served in the Wisconsin Territorial Council. Robert Hall Baker served a term as mayor of Racine and also served in the Wisconsin State Senate. He was also a partner of the J. I. Case Company (today the Case Corporation). He died in 1882 and his wife built the 30-room house in his memory.

I found Jon's place at the side of the highway. It appeared to be a field of mostly spent cars of decades past. Fixer-upper opportunities, parts cars and planters, classically displayed in that rural tall grass and blue sky kind of way.
Photo-ops, to be sure.
What I didn't expect to find was the massive outbuilding that cozied something like sixty or eighty beautifully preserved classic rides and a fellow who is as much museum curator as he is salesman. Jon seemed to be a friendly, easy-going fellow who lets the cars sell themselves and enjoys them until they do, driving one or the other until "someone comes along who likes one more than I do".
His favorites? A pair of Chevy "Bubbletops"- an Impala and a Bel Air, pictured here in Basic Black.
It's always refreshing to meet a nice guy in his dream job.
We should all be so lucky.
